Hayes

I collapse on my bed.

I wake up and it's Sunday morning.

Still pouring.

I wake up to thumping sounds on my window.

I pull back my curtains and see Layla throwing pebbles at my window.

"Finally he's awake!" She says as I open my window.

"Why are you throwing rocks-" I began.

"Actually pebbles.." she interrupts.

I began, "Pebbles at my window." I laugh a little.

"I wanted to wake you up." She says.

"I'm home alone, come over." She says shutting her window flashing me a smile through the glass.

I smile and shut mine.

Pulling my curtains back together.

I wear grey joggers and a plain black sweater. Complimented with black vans.

"Mom, I'm going next door!" I holler.

"Alright baby." She says from the kitchen.

I make my way to Layla's and she greets me at the door.

"Hey sleepy head." She says messing with my hair.

I chuckle and fix my hair.

"What should we do??" She says collapsing on the couch.

"Let's go get foooood." She says getting up, putting some slippers on.

"I'll drive." I state.

I run inside and grab my keys and wallet.

We get into my black Range Rover and drive off.

"How about pizza?" I ask.

"Yes and lemonade." She says.

We get all of our stuff and head to a park.

I park my car on top of a hill and we sit in the back looking at the stars.

"I'm glad we started to be friends." She breaks the silence.

"Me too." I say sipping on my lemonade.

"Like we have such a good time." She says eating her pizza.

I nod.

"Why are you dressed all different?" She asked out if the blue.

"You don't like it?" I ask getting worried.

"I do, but it's not the Hayes Grier I know." She says getting up from the back.

"Who is the Hayes Grier you know?" I ask following her.

"The button up nerd wearing quiet guy." She says giggling.

I play along and laugh too.

"Is this like a new style?" She asks.

"Um I don't know." I say looking at the sky.

"I'm doing it for this girl.." I start, immediately regretting it.

"Hayes.." she starts.

"You don't have to change for a girl." She ends.

"I do if she thinks I'm the biggest nerd in school." I reply.

"She does not." She fires back.

"You don't even know her." I look back at her.

"Okay but no one is that shallow Hayes." She says.

"I don't know." I say standing there.

HOME

It's 7 and I dropped off Layla 4 hours ago.

I want to tell her how I feel but I don't know.

Is she that shallow?

Before I can think anymore, I hear a knock on my door.

"Hey Hayes." My mom says coming in.

"I have an errand to run but here, I ordered the contacts and paid more to get them faster." She says handing me a small box.

"Thank you mom." I say hugging her.

"Mom, can I have some money? I want to go shopping for some clothes." I ask hoping she won't ask why.

"Um, sure." She says pulling a hundred out of her wallet.

I kiss her cheek and she leaves.

I am going to change completely.

I have stuff here but I need some newer stuff.

I drive to the mall and get all the stuff I need.

Pants, joggers, shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, long sleeves, and a pair of shoes.

I had to put a bit of my own money in but everything worked out fine.

Monday will be a new day for Hayes Grier.

I'm so sorry I didn't update ughhh!! Updating Thursday!

Stay safe ♥️
